“In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned; travelers took to winding paths.

“Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women.

“In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned, and travelers kept to the byways.

“Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, of tent-dwelling women most blessed.

“In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, and in the days of Jael, people avoided the main roads, and travelers stayed on winding pathways.

“Most blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. May she be blessed above all women who live in tents.

In the days of Shamgar  son of Anath, in the days of Jael,  the main roads were deserted because travelers kept to the side roads.

Most blessed of women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; she is most blessed among tent-dwelling women.

In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, And the travellers walked through byways.

Blessed above women shall Jael The wife of Heber the Kenite be, Blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

“In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, In the days of Jael, The highways were deserted, And the travelers walked along the byways.

“Most blessed among women is Jael, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Blessed is she among women in tents.

In the time of Shamgar son of Anath, and in the time of Jael, Public roads were abandoned, travelers went by backroads. Warriors became fat and sloppy, no fight left in them. Then you, Deborah, rose up; you got up, a mother in Israel. God chose new leaders, who then fought at the gates. And not a shield or spear to be seen among the forty companies of Israel.

Most blessed of all women is Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of homemaking women. He asked for water, she brought milk; In a handsome bowl, she offered cream. She grabbed a tent peg in her left hand, with her right hand she seized a hammer. She hammered Sisera, she smashed his head, she drove a hole through his temple. He slumped at her feet. He fell. He sprawled. He slumped at her feet. He fell. Slumped. Fallen. Dead. * * *

¶“In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the roads were deserted, And travelers went by roundabout ways.

¶“Most blessed of women is Jael, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Most blessed is she of women in the tent.

¶“In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways were deserted, And travelers went by roundabout ways.

¶“Most blessed of women is Jael, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Most blessed is she of women in the tent.

In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael caravans disappeared; travelers had to go on winding side roads.

The most rewarded of women should be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite! She should be the most rewarded of women who live in tents.
